This weekend we had our Latin Link Colombia Team Retreat in a lovely retreat centre near Medellín.

We celebrated our unity in diversity with our now traditional international evening in which our team members showcased an aspect of their home culture.

We learned some Swiss German, the names of the 14 Inca Kings and the components of an English roast dinner.

But the highlight was definitely our five Colombians improvising a skit to demonstrate regional rivalries and identities. They presented regional dances; they bragged about regional food; they squabbled about what different words mean in different places. It was hilarious and instructive, and all improvised with about 10 minutes of planning.

Oh, for Scotland, I taught a game which I have only ever played at home, called the name game and is a bit complicated to explain here.
